This Week at Grace

Adult EducationThis coming Sunday is a special day for adult ed. With members away on the retreat we’ll be watching a short video based on a Pulitzer prize winning novel. Prepare to be surprised. We’ll first enjoy the story and then have time for discussion around our tables emphasizing both Christian themes and our own life experiences.

Wellspring’s Saturday Breakfast MinistryVolunteers needed on Saturday, February 4th. On the first Saturday of each month, a small group from Grace prepares-serves breakfast, and distributes clothing and toiletries for up to 80 needy guests . This shelter ministry at Old First UCC in Philadelphia supports hunger relief efforts by providing a place for guests to enjoy a hot breakfast and fellowship. Guests are also offered the opportunity to select clothing, snacks and toiletries from the clothing cupboard each Saturday.

Men’s RetreatMen, mark your calendars! The Men’s Retreat is March 3-5, 2017. Please consider joining us for a weekend of fellowship, spiritual renewal, study, fun, and relaxation at the Harvey Cedars Bible Conference. This year our group will focus John Ortberg’s work The Life You Always Wanted. The life that Christ desires of us is indeed the life that we truly want. Through videos and small group discussions, we’ll explore why we should and how we can transform our lives into the manner that Jesus desires. More details to come.
